I've considered looking into the possibility of taking a Bass Core wire and having it plated to the approximate diameter of ideal. Then, swagging it to the exact diameter of the calculated ideal diameter. I wonder if the tonal response of this type of string would be better or worse than a "wound" string. After all, the process of winding strings is several centuries olde and you'd think we could come up with something a little less problematic, in this advanced technology age we live in. Just a thought. <G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay! [G}
